Will this travel cage work to transport my 2 cockatiels and my parakeet?

I don't suppose you can call the company and ask how wide those slits are? Just looking at the the pic with the cat in it, if that's an average size cat, the parakeet can squeeze through. Need size measurements though to say for sure.

You would need to put mesh around it so no heads squeeze through slits. I had problem a bit of cockatiel heads squeezing through slits of a cat carrier until I put mesh on. I would try another type of.carrier


Also I think airlines limit how many animals are in a carrier

Have you checked with the specific airline that you're traveling on? I know some have specific rules about the type of carriers used, etc.

Consider the small animal soft side carrier. There is a hard firm cage that slides into a soft side carrier that has mess, and is ventilated on all sides. You would need to have both pieces and check with your airline carrier to make sure that is acceptable.

Where can I purchase that? Can you provide a link?

Also check with he airline you are flying on if they can even go in the same carrier......some will only let the same species in one carrier so you may need 2 carriers for the trip! One for the tiel and one for both keets.....

Do you usually house them all together in the same cage at home? If not they may hurt each other in the one carrier.
